The Bee Gees
The Bee Gees were formed in 1958 by three brothers Maurice, Barry and Robin Gibbs. Their genres are rock, pop, soft rock, disco and some soul. They have been active except for a six year hiatus. As singers-songwriters, the brothers wrote all their own hits, as well as writing and producing other hits for different artists. They have sold over 220 million records. Only five other artist/groups have sold more, and their awards are as impressive as the groups popularity. All questions about this group can be found here.
